boginspro Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Translation below from this page in French ----------- https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valda_(pastille) Valda (or commonly pastille Valda) is a candy, marketed by Omega Pharma, and presented in an ambiguous way as a remedy to relieve the irritation of the throat. This pellet was invented by the pharmacist Henri-Edmond Canonne in 1904. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
